Vintage Tressa Day-Date Watch w/Divers All SS Case,ETA 2788 FOR PARTS/REPAIR

Description: ***********FOR PARTS/REPAIR - The ETA 2788 automatic movement does not run. Both the day and date wheels roll over as they should. At a minimum a complete overhaul is required.***********This seldom seen vintage 1970's Tressa, which came from the estate of its original owner, has a silver satin "SWISS MADE" signed dial that under the damaged crystal appears to be in near pristine condition. Majority, if not all, of the imperfections seen are on the outside and underbelly of the crystal. The black lume, which I suspect is original, does not glow when exposed to bright light. In my humble opinion the vibrant powder blue seconds hand complements the dial and lume beautifully. The all stainless steel case shows significant wear with no visible signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "WATERPROOF INCABLOC AUTOMATIC STAINLESS STEEL SWISS MADE" with "TRESSA" followed by "SWISS" stamped in the center. The crystal needs to be replaced. The 25 jewels Swiss "TRESSA" stamped ETA 2788 automatic movement with quickset date function does not run. Both the day and date wheels roll over as they should. The quickset date function works flawlessly by pulling out the crown to the first position and then turning it clockwise until the desired date has been reached. This movement does not have a quickset day function. The signed, non-screwdown crown winds with friction. At a minimum a complete overhaul is required. This watch measures approximately 35 mm excluding the crown, approximately 36.5 mm including the crown and approximately 19 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the mid-case, is approximately 9 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 11 mm. At a minimum a complete overhaul is required. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. For this watch that time is now. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given. And please study the 17 high magnification pictures carefully, which were taken in natural light and from various angles, as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.Expedited and insured shipping will be provided. Thanks for looking!***********FOR PARTS/REPAIR - The ETA 2788 automatic movement does not run. Both the day and date wheels roll over as they should.
